What is an adoption line of credit?
If you own a home, you may apply for a home equity line of credit, or HELOC, to pay for an adoption. During this period, you make minimum payments on the amount you borrow. Once the draw period is over, you can no longer borrow through your HELOC and you’re required to pay back the remaining amount you owe.
What is a personal signature line of credit?
Personal loans are sometimes called signature loans. They get this name due to the fact that if you qualify, you can receive the loan with just your signature. Because the loan is unsecured, you don’t have to put up any assets or collateral, such as a home or vehicle, to secure financing.

Can you get EITC with no income?

Can a stay at home mom file taxes?
No. Even if you don’t earn income, this does not make you a dependent for tax purposes. You and your spouse should file as married. Married couples filing jointly generally have lower taxes and can claim more in deductions and credits than those who file as head of household, or even as married filing separately.
